About this dataset

10 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from 1725964688 7 skin tuberculosis 18032022, published by icmr.gov.in. The source is a 1-page publication. Source-evidenced topics include standard treatment workflow (stw), icd-a18.4, national tb elimination programme, central tb division, histopathology, skin biopsy, fnac, granulomas. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. Question types in the export: 8 definition, 1 list, 1 relationship. 10 of the 10 pairs (100.0%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 0 are factual or table-based questions. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.

The story in this dataset

Skin Tuberculosis Q&A Dataset from ICMR

This dataset contains 10 extractive question-and-answer pairs about skin tuberculosis, derived from a single-page publication by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
